I don't think that's the issue. Right now the issue is not believing the laws of radiative thermodynamics. I have 6 references in posts 81 and 83 that says that bodies at the same temperature radiate to each other. (That is what my statements 1-3 mean.) Pale says there is no radiation to each other, in that the radiation cancels to zero. If there is no agreement on what is happening in an equilibrium state, how can a discussion proceed in the much more complex non-equilibrium states of the atmosphere.If one body is hotter than the other, then the hotter one is radiating more energy than the colder one, so yes, the colder body receives more thermal energy than it radiates, and thereby grows warmer.
